[Hidden-tech] twitter/hootsuite question

[Terran Birrell]

Hi Melissa,

I don't think Hootsuite would help as they're more on the content creation
side than the display side.

Depending on what email provider your organization is using, you might be
able to use an email that would be accepted for twitter, but that would go
to the same email account. For example, using gmail, or google apps for
business, you can add "+anything" to the end of the username and it still
goes through. So I could open multiple twitter accounts by using the emails
terranrb+twitter at gmail.com, and terranrb+twitter2 at gmail.com. Twitter would
accept these as different, but they would still both come to this email
account. Could be worth looking into if you want to go the two accounts
route.

If you want to add a hashtag to the event related tweets, and use the
twitter widget to display only those from your account with that hashtag, a
quick google search turned up: https://learntech.imsu.ox.ac.uk/blog/?p=336.
It could also be worth considering only searching based on the hashtag as
that would show activity from other people tweeting about the event, but
that obviously comes with a loss of control.

Hope that helps,
Terran
